A solution containing 0.0100 mol of \(\mathrm{Cu^{2+}}\) and 0.0150 mol of \(\mathrm{Zn^{2+}}\) is electrolysed using a copper cathode and a zinc anode. A constant current of 2.00 A is passed for 30.0 min. The current efficiency for copper deposition is 90 % and for zinc dissolution is 80 %. Calculate (a) the mass of copper deposited on the cathode, (b) the mass of zinc that dissolves from the anode, and (c) which metal‑ion concentration decreases by the larger percentage.

Answer Options

A. Cu deposited: 0.64 g; Zn dissolved: 0.32 g; Zn^{2+} concentration decreases more
Correct Answer B. Cu deposited: 0.64 g; Zn dissolved: 0.40 g; Cu^{2+} concentration decreases more
C. Cu deposited: 0.58 g; Zn dissolved: 0.45 g; Zn^{2+} concentration decreases more
D. Cu deposited: 0.72 g; Zn dissolved: 0.40 g; Cu^{2+} concentration decreases more
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Cu deposited: 0.64 g; Zn dissolved: 0.40 g; Cu^{2+} concentration decreases more
